Of course, nobody would buy a Spider just for its summing but i'm still amazed at how much bang for the buck this unit is considering what's in there (8 superb pre's, limiting, tape simulation, summing, 10 channel of AD) |
i wouldn't say NOBODY.. *cough*
i'm torn right now between getting a folcrom/hardy "cheap-now" setup and saving up for a folcrom/spider/avocet and having a studio cleanup sale.
hmm!
if i had the spider i could actually go back to tracking bands too..
double hmm!
i think the avocet is an eventuality regardless
the advantages of the spider/folcrom are really too much for me to pass up, money aside... some possibilities:
1- MV
2- kick
3- snare
4- bass
5/6- folcrom (all the rest)
7/8- rev return
or take all the drums thru another folcrum and use the spider's inserts to smash em thru a buss compressor.. smart c2 anyone?
i could see making use of the fat amp/pans/meters/hipass/tape sim/master fader & A/D for sure..
folcrum + spider + avocet = wicked master section ???
that's what i'm thinking...
